Fuel cell distributed power solutions for back-up and off-grid use
IE-GRID™ is Intelligent Energy’s scalable, high-power, containerised solution designed for distributed power applications. Offering outputs from 100 kW to multi-megawatt levels, these containerised zero-emission solutions are powered by the IE-DRIVE™ HD100 fuel cell technology.
Modular design for scalable power
A key feature of Intelligent Energy’s PEM fuel cell technology is its modularity. IE-GRID leverages the proven IE-DRIVE HD100 platform. Our HD100 units can be configured in parallel or series to delivered tailored solutions up to 1MW in a single container, with multiple containers installed to deliver multi-MW power across multiple industries.
This flexible architecture ensures that IE-GRID can adapt to a wide range of applications – from individual 100kW units replacing polluting diesel generators in construction for example, through to multi-MW back-up power systems for data centres.
Reliable, clean, independent power
As industries worldwide seek cleaner, more resilient energy solutions, alternatives to diesel generators are increasingly in demand – for backup power, grid balancing, or as permanent off-grid sources.
Fuel cells are powering the next era of intelligent infrastructure – delivering clean, resilient energy for AI data centres, businesses, and communities seeking freedom from grid constraints. Purpose-built for next-generation microgrids, IE-GRID units combine exceptional power density with an ultra-compact footprint, scaling effortlessly to megawatt levels. It’s the smarter, more sustainable foundation for AI-driven innovation and true energy independence.
